The animation for the 52 Duels characters was done by the excellent Jason Roberts. Heโ€™s not on Bluesky but you can find him at jasonbroberts.myportfolio.com

Another Street Fighter influence in 52 Duels are the character portrait quotes. The Priestess is out to rid the world of darkness one damage-inducing healing ritual at a time.

I think this guy is my favourite character Iโ€™ve illustrated for 52 Duels. Partially inspired by Rolento (aka the ultimate stick-wielding badass) from Street Fighter Alpha 2

Update 2: A closer look at the visual design ยท 52 Duels: Fight with Playing Cards As mentioned in the previous update, we don't have anything to unlock in this campaign - everything we make is available to all backers at one pledge level. These updates are instead here to give you ...

Always hard to know how interested folks will be in this kind of thing, but I penned a short art diary about creating the look of 52 Duels / Realms.

Queen of Spies by SaltandPepper - Gamefound Queen of Spies is a solo, story-driven board game of espionage and daring missions set in occupied Belgium during the First World War.

In a few hours the campaign for Queen of Spies will go live. This game is super important to me, as it will be the first published design from me and my bestie @beyondsolitaire.bsky.social. Stunning work from @saltandpeppergames.bsky.social and Meeple Foundry!

Itโ€™s a great system. Steven is one of those designers who always impresses me with what he can squeeze out of a small game.

Cards depicting ancient wonders laid out horizontally on a wooden surface. A brown wallet has white text on that reads โ€˜Ancient Realm by Steven Araminiโ€™

I really like Ancient Realm by Steven Aramini. It crams a lot of decision space into a short play time, and it doesnโ€™t require a huge amount of table space. Nice morning coffee kind of solo game.

Thank you for wonderful review Mark, and good in the rematch with your son!

The Galaxies Showcase is rad, and on a personal note itโ€™s lovely to see one of my oldest friends bossing it. Congrats on the success buddy!

Weโ€™re live and funded! 52 Duels is the playing card battler you never knew you needed ๐Ÿƒ

On a serious note, itโ€™s always a gut-wrenching feeling hitting launch on a campaign. Iโ€™m super grateful for the words of support and for folks checking out what we make.

Letโ€™s goooooo!

I love games. All flavours. Video, tabletop, board, war, miniatures. However you want to dice it, theyโ€™re all great.

Some nice thematic details in this. I particularly like the calendar time track that advances as you take actions, and actually sends you back one day when you cross time zones.

Some flipping and writing in Around the World in 80 Days. Perhaps an obvious statement given the Postmark catalagoue but I like map based writing / drawing games.

Saw some gig posters using Ai and thatโ€™s no good. Gig posters are a lot of artists first gig, theyโ€™re fucking with the ecosystem of students getting ยฃ20 so Iโ€™m making stickers because thermal label printers are our cheapest propaganda tool
